Identity and our individuality

[KarenM]

This week’s lesson talks a lot about “identities”, “identity” and “individuality”.
“The divine Mind maintains all identities, from a blade of grass to a star, as distinct and eternal.” (S&H p70″)
“Identity is the reflection of Spirit,…” (S&H p477)
“…man, reflecting God, cannot lose his individuality;…”(S&H p337)
“The loss of man’s identity through the understanding which Science cofers is impossible; and the notion of such a possibility is more
absurd than to conclude that individual musical tones are lost in the origin of harmony” (S&H p261)
“This scientific sense of being, forsaking matter for Spirit, by no means suggests man’s absorption into Deity and the loss of his identity, but confers upon man enlarged individuality, a wider sphere of thought and action, a more expansive love, a higher and more permanent peace”
(S&H p265)

Individuality– A state of oneness
Identity—sameness

Gender identity is a hot topic these days and many children, adolescents and adults are struggling to be who they are. These citations clearly show that to think scientifically about this issue is to find our oneness with God and then we find our true identity which is the reflection of God, Spirit not in terms of material sense.

In an article entitled “Individuality” by Herbert Eustace he says “America is the highest expression of individuality”, or our highest expression of our oneness with God and that this oneness, as Jesus illustrated provided money for taxes, supper for his disciples and fed the multitude. All we need is found in our oneness with God.
